Changing the operation
settings of UPnP function
What is UPnP
function?
UPnP is the acronym of Universal Plug and Play, a
mechanism where the UPnP-supported operating
system automatically detects UPnP-supported
devices in the network to facilitate mutual
connection. The product supports UPnP. Therefore,
if your LAN has the product installed, Windows PCs
within the LAN can use the audio chat of Windows
Live Messenger and other features.
NOTE
• Note that not all of the functions provided by UPnP
Forum are supported by the UPnP function of the
product.
• Like the CATV or other connections, if the IP address
assigned by the provider is a private IP address, the
Windows Live Messenger audio chat using the UPnP
function is not available.
• To configure the UPnP function in “Basic configuration
page”, you must register the connection provider in
advance.
• If you have not registered the provider before starting
software such as Windows Live Messenger that
requires the UPnP environment, it may take some
time to communicate with the product. In this case,
register the connection provider or stop the UPnP
function.
• If Windows Live Messenger is exited and started
repeatedly, or the UPnP function information
becomes different between the PC and the product
after the product has been restarted or the line has
been disconnected, the connection may not be
established normally.
In this case, sign out Windows Live Messenger once
with the line connected, and then restart it. If you still
cannot establish the connection, restart the PC.
